Hi guys,

I'm in a dilemma at the moment... I got confirmation from the HR department at the University of Malta (I applied for a junior research position there) that they and a few professors in security and privacy law want to have an online conference call and interview with me this Monday afternoon. Seeing that I just have time tonight and Sunday, I'm in need of at least 4 to 5 extra hours to review and refresh my knowledge on certain dossiers.

In short: I will still join you for dinner on Saturday evening at 17h00 and the Award Ceremony too (d'uh), but in view of my staunch ambition to go for an academic career, I want to increase my own chances of success and skip the morning meeting at Marriott and the guided tour.

Though, I'll see you at Yanko's for sure! Apologies and I hope you'll understand, it's a career project with a 3 year project grant.

Best,

Yeah Nessy, that's the place. You can also use "Korenlei 10 - 9000 Gent" address.

My guess is you will find the hotel at the corner of Drabstraat and Korenlei._________________"The piano keys

The press converence was great ! Thaanks a lot for organizing that we could participate, Dutch !
Mr. Goldenthal seemed to have stayed up too long the night before (which was kinda funny ) and Mr Korzeniowski was very interesting to listen too. And of course Hans Zimmer, who doesn't want to meet him ?
The concert was amazing as well, especially the Inception suite played live. Unbelievable !
I also really enjoyed seeing some new faces from people i know from chatting _________________

What a fabulous week end it had been !
THANK YOU DUTCHBAT for the organisation ! Even if I only couldn't enjoy all your program, it was great XD
I was so glad to meet so many SST members ! \o/

Thank you so much, Dutch, for organizing our meeting in Gent. You did such a great job!!
It was so awesome to meet so many SST members. The press conference was highly interesting and the concert was absolutely fabulous. It’s really been a phantastic day!!

It was a very nice day / weekend. I enjoyed it very much. Nice reactions of the stand we could set up at the press conference.

The Awards event and the following concert was awesome. Nice to hear the greet suites by Goldenthal and Shore and seeing Hans Zimmer performing live Driving Miss Daisy and Inception suite with his small group of musicians together with the Brussels Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Dirk Brossé
